Celebrate The Holidays With New Emotes
The Dawning is Destiny 2's holiday-themed event, bringing a winter wonderland to the Tower. It adds a whole bunch of new cosmetic items to the Eververse store and a brand-new kind of Bright Engram--the Winterdrift Engram--from which you can earn new cosmetics in December.
The coolest thing on offer in this year's Dawning, though, are multiplayer emotes. These are emotes that go a step beyond the usual dances, waves, and other goofy expressions players can do, to allow you to team up with friends for your emotes. They include fist bumps, chest bumps, and high fives. There's also a hockey themed emote, Protecting Teammates, that has you throwing down your stick and gloves to get ready to brawl somebody guilty of some unsportsmanlike conduct.
The Dawning also offers opportunities to take part in the Mayhem playlist in Crucible, which includes extra Power weapon ammo and fast-charging Super abilities--which means it's basically all chaos, all the time. Its more holiday-themed activity, which has you giving away gifts to the various characters of the Tower, sends you around the solar system to collect ingredients to bake cookies. This is Destiny, though, so getting those ingredients generally means killing baddies.
Below, we've compiled all the armor, ships, emotes, and ghost shells you'll be able to earn during the rest of December. With the accompanying update now live, you can also start tracking down recipes and taking advantage of improved Prime engram drops, among other things.
